You probably just need to edit /etc/pcmcia/pcmcia.config until it has an entry that exactly matches the card. (Note: Is there a way to wildcard this so it just tries every module for every card? I dunno...) You don't need to add any modules or anything, plenty of PCMCIA NE2000 cards already work. -Tom
